A quirky looking variety with an intriguing flower shape, Dahlia ‘Octopus Sparkle’ has long tube-like, ruffled petals giving it the appearance of octopus tentacles. Sold as a single tuber, it grows into vibrant hot red and striking yellow flowers, adding to its exotic appeal.
Growing a cascade of flowers that last from mid-summer through to autumn, these Dahlias have slender stems that reach up to 90cm in height. Perfect for snipping to admire around the home, they also look wonderful planted as part of a jungle themed display in a mixed bed, alongside plants such as Canna Lily. They will also dazzle when planted in a cluster on their own.
In addition to its wonderful flowers, this variety has also shown excellent reliability, which earned it the prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. This means you’ll have the peace of mind that youwill be able to enjoy the magnificent, low maintenance Dahlia for years to come.
